We recently trained Coco, a GSP out of Idaho Falls. His owner reported to us the she pointed four separate birds in 15 minutes on a recent grouse hunt. He said she is a completely different dog and a pleasure to hunt with.

Sharptail Grouse
Had a good Idaho sharptail hunt after a successful Wyoming pronghorn hunt. Here is a nice pic of our first bird. Pictured is Frankie Clayton and John Muckerman (my dad) from Missouri.

Wyoming Pronghorn Hunt
My dad and buddy Frankie joined me on a successful Wyoming pronghorn hunt. Hunting pronghorn is high success and low pressure…a nice change from archery elk.

AKC Field Trial Placement
We are proud to announce that “Boomer of Kenya” earned a placement in a 14 dog Open Derby stake at the Idaho Brittany Club field trials in Southern Idaho this past weekend. Boomer is from a previous Kenya/Clown cross. He was bred at our kennel and trained last summer. The client wanted a month-long tune up before I ran him, but he had an upper respiratory infection so I only had six days to prepare him. He ran and hunted like a banshee and obviously impressed the judges. He placed 4th. In AKC field trials there are four placements and the rest are not announced. I wonder what he would have gotten had he not gotten sick. There is one more Boomer male pup available and is ready to go home as of today.

Field Champion Sired Brittany Litter Announcement – CHRISTMAS PUPPIES!
We are pleased to announce a projected litter of AKC Brittanys. This is a special breeding that we are very excited about. We had six breedings over a period of ten days and are confident Stella will throw a litter. This litter is perfectly timed with pups ready to go to homes right before Christmas and ready for next year’s bird season.
SIRE: FC 2X RU Staley’s Orange Outlaw Mr. Cooper – “Cooper”
OFA EXCELLENT
Cooper is an AKC Field Champion and is still being campaigned on the AKC circuit and is picking up placements. The criteria for earning a Field Champion (FC) title are rigid and very difficult to attain. Not only does Cooper have a phenomenal pedigree, but he has proven himself as a world class birddog on the field trial circuit and hunting field. I chose Cooper as a stud for the following reasons:
-OFA Excellent
-Tell leggy build for covering ground
-Intelligence
-Natural retrieve
-Natural honoring
-Desire to run and hunt with a bottomless tank
– Calm at home and in kennel
-Within breed standard for sizeCooper is a proven stud dog and has sired many great puppies.
DAM: Karamojo’s Dragon Tattoo JH – “Stella”
OFA GOODStella has had two litters and we have had some of our clients bring them back for training and have been impressed. We have two in our kennels now (one as a two-month trainer and the other for a bird season tune-up) and they are doing great. Stella’s exceptional trainability passes to her pups very nicely. She has a hard point, a nice medium range pattern and flat out finds birds. She is a sweetheart off the field and an all-business workaholic in the field. She is calm at home and in the kennel. She has proven herself hunting wild birds with four species of native grouse, Hungarian partridge, chukar, pheasant and quail all under her belt. She has also proven herself in front of AKC judges by going four out of four for her hunt title with high scores and a total of eight finds all of which she held through the shot.
Both parents are proven on the field and have produced exceptional puppies. The sire is OFA Excellent and the dam is OFA Good for hip dysplasia. Field Champion sired pups are not easy to find. FC sired pups bred to AKC titled dams are even more difficult to find. Let us know if you would like to talk more about this litter or place a deposit. Call or text Nick at 314-954-5424 or email at nickmuckerman@hotmail.com. A $200 deposit holds a pick.

Bailey/Boomer and Sissy/Duke Puppies Doing Great
Our two litters on the ground are healthy, fun and active. They are finally showing some personalities and seem to enjoy life.

Brittany Puppies Doing Well
Our puppies are doing well. Sissy’s are two weeks and Bailey’s are almost 2 weeks. Their eyes opened in the past few days and they are a cute bunch. We breed for hunting/companion dogs but, if I do say so myself, these are some beautiful pups with beautiful markings. I will try to get some better pictures up soon.
We are serious about our breeding and the health of the dams and puppies. In our last six successful breedings over the past few years, we have lost only one puppy and it was due to a C-section. It was not preventable. We take our dams and pups to the vet to get checked and have certified veterinarians dock tails and remove dew claws. We do this because it is what is best and safest for the pups.
If you are interested in securing a spot of a remaining male, or would like to talk Brittanys, contact Nick at 314-954-5424 or nickmuckerman@hotmail.com. We are offering backyard breeder prices on these males but you are getting quality, well taken care of puppies from proven parents. If you would like references from past puppy clients please ask.

Bailey Working A Bird…A Well-Deserved Break From Her Pups
We do not run our dams when they are pregnant because it is not advised by veterinarians. We do run them after they have dropped their litter to get them tuned up, ready for the season and also because they like a break from the puppies. Here is Bailey on a bird today.
